   Endgame, by "LoGan". My older brother was into PUA stuff, I was dumped recently so he recommended me to read some things. All the other books and blogs were like "you have to do this one trick to get laid", but this book

   Living in an economically underdeveloped country also hurts a lot of people in a lot of ways. Why not buffer this suffering with the whole world?

    I had bookmarks. Now I put those in collections. It's worse for going to 1 specific site, but great to going to many sites at a time (think HN, twitter, newspaper and weather, all at once when you start your day).

    I like this project a lot (and use it ocassionally in my PhD). I've tried this full profile Rietveld-esque tool [0] before, and it works pretty well for being so simple (at least from a UX point of view). What I would like to see (and
